• INSUFFICIENT PRESSURE SUPPORT ALARM
Is triggered if for 3 breaths in a row the maximum mask pressure achieved at
inspiratory to expiratory transition is either <87.5% of the absolute mask pressure
targetted at that point, or < absolute mask pressure targetted minus 1 cmH
2
O,
whichever is the lower.
• HIGH LEAK ALARM
Leak exceeds 30 L/min for more than 20 seconds.
• FLOW BLOCKED ALARM
Flow is less than 6 L/min for more than 20 seconds.
IEC 601-1 CLASSIFICATIONS
Class II, Type CF
Class II medical electrical equipment provides protection against electric shock either
by double insulation or reinforced insulation and does not require a protective earth.
